Orbiting – rather appropriately – high above Florida’s famous Space Coast,
I study the instrument panel intently. Having carefully double-checked
that all of the automatic systems are disengaged I grasp the
yoke and introduce an increasingly steep roll to the
left. As the PFDs roll pointer approaches
some small indices at the 45 degree
mark I begin to feel a steadily
increasing resistance
through the
yoke.
